Don't bother with the Camaro plate.
You can enlarge the Firebird opening by cutting away the shift indicator window frame (med gray) with a fine tooth sabre saw/blade.
Cushion the bottom of the saw, or conversely the trim panel with masking tape to prevent the foot of the saw from marring the surface. Remember to cut close to the edge, but not on the edge. The rest can be taken down with sanding/filing.
This is what I did for my T-56 install. Results were very clean. Use a an aftermarket shift boot. I used a Mr. Gasket "Euro" boot.
I am thinking that this opening should be sufficient for your T-5 install as well.
